Q Talk

[Homeschooling Mom]

I went to the QVC outlet store in Lancaster, PA, yesterday and was told by the staff that the QVC outlet (in Lancaster) will be closing permanently.   Apparently the strip mall that the store is located at is going to be torn down and replaced with apartments.  No official closing date was mentioned but construction on the apartments begins fall 2023.  The QVC store in Malvern, PA will remain open.

@Homeschooling Mom   Sorry to hear that.  I used to go there from time to time.  Will Reading China and Glass be closing too?  I love that store.

Wow, sorry to read about this.  DH and I used to visit there often years ago as it was about an hour's drive from us.  They had some great deals.

We were there recently and were so surprised at how many stores are no longer in business.  Really sad to hear this.

Reading China and Glass is staying. I wish they would move back to Reading. A few stores in the “U” have relocated already, and others will at the summer’s end. Disney is still there. The store in Malvern is about half the size as the Lancaster store, but there is room for expansion, if they acquire the store next to them.

Sad news! I loved going there once a year before the pandemic, for 10 years I would take my time and leave with big bags of great bargains. Some items I am using now. It had one dinky dressing room and lots of bargains for those of us practicing our hunting & gathering cavewomen skills.

@Homeschooling Mom , this is the outlet at Rockvale Square, right?  I'm wondering why they wouldn't move down a few miles to the Tanger Outlets.  There's alot of empty stores there too, although it was still open when we were there.

As I recall, the Q outlet was very busy on weekends; many people took bus trips to visit.

Very sorry to hear this but not surprised.  Sad that they didn't consider moving it elsewhere.  The Lancaster area has a lot to offer for visitors.  Malvern not so much.

Is Reading still an "outlet" center?  When we lived in NJ, we would go there occasionally and always enjoyed it.

We would take a 90 minute drive there every 6 mos just so I could go to the Q outlet, not been there in 8 years, so I wont miss it, last time no bargains to be found.

Well, this stinks. My girlfriends and I, heck my husband and I, used to make quite a few jaunts there and got many bargains.
